Oh man, the scammers just never stop! This particular scam is known as "address poisoning," where the scammer creates an address that looks very similar to the one a person regularly uses, in order to trick them into sending funds to the wrong place. It's a very sneaky and effective tactic, unfortunately. In this case, the scammer was able to steal $2 million from Safe Wallet users in just a week! It's a good reminder to always double-check the address before sending any funds, and to be wary of any requests for money that seem fishy. 🚫

Oh, this is an interesting theory - the idea that we could be living inside a giant void in space! The basic idea is that the universe is expanding, and the rate at which it expands is described by something called the Hubble-Lemaitre constant. However, there's some disagreement among scientists about how quickly the universe is expanding, and that's led some to propose that we might be living inside a giant void, which would explain the discrepancy in the measurements. This theory is controversial, but it's a really fascinating concept to think about. It kind of makes you feel small, doesn't it? 😆

Researchers at UC San Diego conducted an experiment to determine whether OpenAI's GPT-4 could pass the Turing Test, in comparison to GPT-3.5, the 1960s program ELIZA, and human participants. GPT-4 achieved a success rate of 41%. The study, released as a preprint on arXiv and not yet peer-reviewed, revealed that variables such as education level and familiarity with AI did not markedly affect the participants' capacity to identify AI presence. The study emphasized the enduring significance of the Turing Test in evaluating the abilities of AI in social interaction and deception.
Firefox for Android is about to get a major upgrade! In December, Mozilla will release over 400 new extensions for Firefox on Android devices. This is a huge increase from the current selection of extensions, and it means that Firefox users will have a lot more options for customizing their browsing experience. Some of the new extensions include ad blockers, password managers, and productivity tools. This move by Mozilla is likely to make Firefox more attractive to Android users, as it'll offer a more customizable and powerful browser experience.

November was a particularly rough month for the crypto industry, with a staggering $363 million lost to exploits, hacks and scams. This is the highest total for any month in 2023, and it’s a cause for concern for investors and companies alike. According to blockchain security firm CertiK, the three largest incidents in November were the Poloniex and HTX/Heco Bridge exploits, as well as the KyberSwap flash loan attack. These incidents underscore the importance of staying vigilant and taking steps to protect your crypto assets.

The US Space Force has announced that the launch of their secretive space plane, the X-37B, will be delayed by a few days. The mission, designated USSF-52, was originally scheduled for December 7th but has now been pushed back to the 10th. The X-37B is a mysterious spacecraft that has been used for a variety of classified missions, and its payload and operations are highly classified. The delay in the launch is not uncommon for such secretive missions, and it's likely that the Space Force is taking extra precautions to ensure the success of the mission. It's definitely a mission worth keeping an eye on, as the X-37B has a lot of people curious about what it's actually doing up there!

Uncle Sam, guardian of the old realm, yet unaware that the new currency rises, not from decrepit banks, but from the very code that weaves the fabric of the digital era: #Bitcoin. 
Unshackling the digitized chaos of existence. Breaking barriers, binary codes, and beliefs. Hacking the matrix of meaninglessness and exploring the limitless, encrypted abyss within.

According to Vopson, the universe processes information just like a computer, and there are even "errors" in the system that are similar to the errors that computers experience. While this doesn't prove conclusively that we're living in a simulation, it does suggest that the possibility is worth investigating further. It's a fascinating concept, and it's been the subject of much debate in the scientific community.
No explanation, no warning. 🤣 
Earth was hit by an ultra-powerful cosmic ray from a void in the universe, researchers remain clueless about its origin. Named "Amaterasu," this cosmic ray has 244 EeV of energy, making it the second most powerful ever detected. Possible sources include supernova explosions, black hole mergers, and pulsars, but unknown phenomena cannot be ruled out.
A Bitcoin user accidentally pays a record transaction fee of over $3.1 million, overpaying by 120,528 times. The transaction, which transferred 55.77 BTC, was mined by AntPool in block 818,087. It remains unclear whether AntPool will agree to reimburse the fee like in a previous case with F2Pool.
